Madness - Shadow on My House lyrics
[Madness - Shadow on My House lyrics]
I loved the girl but I messed her up
Now she's with another so I've found
They say "better to have loved and lost
Than not have loved at all"
But much more than my foolish pride
Has took a fall they all tell me about
Mistakes that I have made
And I have no doubt, my hand was overplayed
There's a shadow on my house
The window's shed no light
Since you've gone it seems so wrong
I can't tell day from night
All too late I have learnt
Burn the candle at both ends
And you'll get burnt
How could there be, a fool such as i?
To let you walk away, out of my life
Sitting here alone all the days seem the same
I don't know how much longer
I can stand the pain
There's a shadow on my house
The window's shed no light
Since you've gone it seems so wrong
I can't tell day from night
Now she's with another so I've found
They say "better to have loved and lost
Than not have loved at all"
But much more than my foolish pride
Has took a fall they all tell me about
Mistakes that I have made
And I have no doubt, my hand was overplayed
There's a shadow on my house
The window's shed no light
Since you've gone it seems so wrong
I can't tell day from night
All too late I have learnt
Burn the candle at both ends
And you'll get burnt
How could there be, a fool such as i?
To let you walk away, out of my life
Sitting here alone all the days seem the same
I don't know how much longer
I can stand the pain
There's a shadow on my house
The window's shed no light
Since you've gone it seems so wrong
I can't tell day from night
